Panchhi nadiyan pawan ke jhoken Koi sarhad naa inhe roke , Sarhaden insaano ke liye hai Socho, tumne aur maine , Kya paaya insaan hoke :).. After reading this blog this song came in my mind and that doesn't mean i m less patriotic than u ,btw you forgot to add Nepalese here who r even preferred in Indian Army selection drives (because of their past records)and current condition in Nepal is that If u r an Indian they will abuse you on ur face ,if their is a cricket match going on between India n Pakistan OR India Vs Bangladesh they will cheer up for Pakistan or Bangladesh and sometimes they are the one who help Terrorists from Pakistan or India to cross Indian Border :) and This is the condition of a country which is very -very much dependent on India for almost every thing

had written this 2 yrs bak, dunno how relevant it is. . . to the issue u spk abt, but since u hv brought up the topic, here is my contibution. . .

well to start with, wat actually pseudo secularism is .....u can say it is a double standard we exibit in a secular state we indians declare ourselves to b ....... the election maniacs out here in my city kinda inspired me 2 introduce this topic .... i see'em become "defenders of Secularism" desperately hunting for votes with a smile pasted on their otherwise rude faces ........n they do get away with d votes with tht kinda attitude cuz we d citizens of a secular state ....go n vote for a cadidate frm our community ...irrespective of d party the candidate belongs to and without analysing the development issues the party has n how it has been workin for our progress n wat kinda vision it has as a governing body ...... thru the years i hv seen parties rule the country over the bodies of thousands of Muslims and Hindus who have been victims of the communal hatred ........... be it d the demolition of the masjid or the godhra .......... when are we going 2 realise our duties as a responsible citizen ............. n exercise our hard earned democracy for the right purpose ............dunno how it'll b dealt with @ the theoritical and ideological level .....but @ the practical level i find it very very difficult !!!!!!!!!!!

Mihir you know there is nothing to disagree in the topic you have raised. But the sad fact is that there is no solution to this as long as we, the educated lot do not realize the importance of patriotism. It is people with education like Arundati Roy who are seen on TV supporting human rights (why she even considers terrorists humans)But then patriotism is not just about being Indian in front of illegal immigration, but also when we face regionalism. See what is happening in Andhra Pradesh. I understand the demand for telengana, but I cannot understand how destruction of public property can serve the purpose. We Indians have taken our Freedom for granted and have no value for lives lost in the battle to gain this freedom.

I totally second Nagraj on this: "...but I cannot understand how destruction of public property can serve the purpose. We Indians have taken our Freedom for granted and have no value for lives lost in the battle to gain this freedom."

Though I still do not understand the need for the division of AP, yet smehow with smeone's gyaan on this to me, I am slowly digesting to this non-edible fact...but destroying public property?? Not Done!!
